My son and I went by there, and the lady with blonde and purple hair was very rude and too straight forward. When you surrender an animal they should just say, okay we will see what we can do for them. Don't make people feel worse than they all ready do. Bringing an animal there, sometimes is very rough, without someone there making things worse.

I haven't forgotten about the family pet you "accidentally" euthanized over a mix up of paperwork (blaze the 16 month old heeler, 2019), despite everything that's happened since then. I haven't forgotten, and neither should YOU. Nor should you forget the cruel "gas chamber incident" years before that. Never forget those memories, and never forget that you're expected to do better than that by animal lovers all across the US.

Questions & Answers

I saw a video of a racoon, mother cat and kitten put in the gas chamber. Amusing? Not Any sub human that would do that needs to be fired. Asap. Where are the laws for these animals?

Cindy Huggins | Sep 13, 2018
Katherine Carter | Sep 13, 2018

That video was from more than 8 years ago. The shelter is no longer under that management and has new staff for the last several years. This shelter does still euthanize if necessary but no longer uses the gas chamber at all. The current staff of the DCAS is the best of any shelter I've ever worked with, they go above and beyond to help every animal they can help. They do the best they can do in a county that badly needs owner education and better spay/neuter options.

If I just moved up here from out of town and my grandbaby is allergic to the cat. Will the shelter take it with drivers license and mail with address up here?

Davidson County Animal Shelter | Sep 13, 2019

Yes, you must have proof of residence in Davidson County and a valid ID. However, we do recommend trying to place her in another home or contacting rescues around the area because unfortunately we cannot guarantee that she will be adopted.

About how much would it cost to adopt a kitten? I have never adopted a pet from the shelter before but I'm planning on doing so in the next month and I was just wondering about how much it would cost to adopt one.

Katy Echerd | Sep 13, 2019
Tony Lewis | Sep 13, 2019

Yes they do if it's a shelter animal put up for adoption. You must see a vet if you wish to get your personal pet a chip.

Is there a drop off box? It is sunday and animal shelter is closed.. i found an old little dog walking on hwy almost got hit.. and saved him. We cannot care for him but we cannot leave him either.. :(

Crystal Burns | Sep 13, 2019
Cindy Morris | Sep 13, 2019

No drop off box, can't you keep it until tomorrow or find someone who will? You can take him to an emergency vet as a Good Samaritan and they will take it and post on Facebook to try to find its home

Is there a waiting period for adoption? I'm looking to adopt but would like to take home that same day.

Elizabeth Danowski | Sep 13, 2019
Sam Paris | Sep 13, 2019

You can adopt the same day. We adopted a cat a few days ago. They just run a background check and if you pass you're good to go.

Is there a way adoption fee can be weaved

Karen Barger | Sep 13, 2018
Gail Myers-Morris | Sep 13, 2018

I don't know for sure but if an animal has a sponsored adoption I would think the fee would be waived. Call them and find out for sure. People sponsor certain animals to make sure they get good homes instead of the alternative.

As of right now, im not too sure. However, I know we have had a diverse amount of animals here, ranging from the common pooch to cockatoos and rabbits! Our stock of dogs and cats are constantly rotating, with new additions every week or so! You can always stop by when you get the chance to and browse for yourself when you get the chance.
